Promoting sustainable lifestyles and green spaces
With an aim to preserve environment and water, we aim to promote sustainable lifestyles by working in close collaboration with children, women’s groups, and the youth
The Need
Way back in 2003, it was found that women had to bear the brunt of fetching water from far-off distances in rural areas in Ghana. Soon, it was realized that women’s empowerment cannot be looked into in isolation and the issues related to water cannot be ignored.
By 2005, water reached the doorsteps of all households because of Accelerated Rural Water Supply Program. However, the groundwater table started depleting due to the mismanagement of water by the communities. This was followed by more such structures in 2-3 nearby villages. Today, the situation has worsened with an average fall in groundwater levels by 2-5 meters below the surface levels annually.
